    If you rotate the bucket 90 degrees everything lines up in the other fender EXCEPT THE BULB will also be rotated 90 degrees. The spring and both adjusters are in their proper places. What was the up/down adjuster tab has become the left/right tab and the left/right tab has become the up/down tab. Everything fits fine until you try to install the bulb.

    I find a lot of wrong ways to install things all by myself but this one I blame on Ford.

    I could only get the bulb only fits one way because of the indentions in the bucket. The only thing I can think of is the earlier Mavericks have the adjusting screw at the top instead of the bottom.

    Yeah, that's why I was asking if they were original to his car.. I had to hunt for a pair in my stash that matched when I put the headlight buckets in the Grabber.
